Yeah, I thought that most people knew this...
A lot of the water companies use artesian well sources that are also used for public water sources--though that can be a huge step up depending on where your tap water comes from. For instance, a water company uses an artesian source in Central Oregon that is also used for public water, but I guarantee that bottled water tastes far better than any tap water in the Southwest.
Dasani and Aquafina are reverse-osmosis filtered, so they can taste better than tap water--but that's relative.
A few years ago, when my parents moved back to a rural area where they have their own well, I did a highly unscientific taste test comparing Arrowhead water to my folks' well water. Every person surveyed in the taste test (about 10) thought that the well water was the Arrowhead, because it tasted better.
Really, it all comes down to how your water tastes.
